On 3 September, South Korea’s weather agency, the Korea Meteorological Administration, estimated that the nuclear weapons blast yield of the presumed test was between 50 and 60 kilotons based on a magnitude 5.6 detection. [32] South Korean Government's initial yield estimate is 100 kt, [27] and it detected a 5.7 magnitude earthquake. [33]
